Duration: 2023 to 2027
Funding: Horizon Europe
EIP's role in the project
Within AMIGOS, EIP leads the knowledge and practice sharing for Twin Cities and capacity-building activities and contributes to co-design and development of innovative solutions and impact assessment, that it should be the most widely disseminated and exploited project result, advertised through all of the project’s dissemination channels and networks.
​
EIP will organize workshops involving representatives from LLs, SIAs and TCs to evaluate the impact of the different types of solutions. Based on the LL and SIA insights, a safe space for the co-creation activities will be deployed for encouraging behavioral changes towards sustainability by promoting measurable and monitor-able improvements in quality of life through capacity building tools.
ABSTRACT
AMIGOS is a 4 year project that brings together 28 partners: 14 Cities, 6 Technical Partners, 4 Research Innovators and 4 Consulting companies.
​
The project aims to co-create, test, evaluate and upscale inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable innovation urban mobility solutions for Europe cities and beyond. AMIGOS project will assess and identify particular challenges to urban mobility from an end-user perspective, especially regarding road and public space quality and whether they adequately respond to citizen’s needs.
​
The AMIGOS project will co-create with citizens and test out urban mobility solutions in 5 Living Labs (LLs) and 10 Safety Improvement Area (SIAs), these cities are from different geographical areas. The LLs will test out solutions aiming to increase public transport usage and active mobility, as well as improving cohabitation between different mobilities, to the means of decreasing emissions and pollution, especially through smart tools. The SIAs will aim to improve safety and decrease accidents, injuries and deaths on the road. The solutions will then be assessed, their potential for replication evaluated and further adapted, in order to be implemented and tested out in the 5 Twin Cities (TCs). This will underline the solutions’ potential for adaptability, upscaling and replication.
​
The project will also provide a better understanding on how to adapt solutions to a city’s particular urban mobility ecosystem, as well as best practice mechanisms for faster and more efficient take-up of innovative, best practice and replicable safe, affordable and sustainable urban mobility solutions.
AMIGOS is acting as a network of cities, for cities, dedicated to sustainable urban mobility.
